Marner is saying he wants to stay, and that is probably true but I wouldn’t take that as gospel and he’s going to shut down each and every trade that comes his way.
If the Leafs come to him, if they haven’t already and say ‘we would like to move you’ to what end would Marner want to stay?
You’re right, he does hold all the cards so he could very well say here’s X number of teams I’ll consider. He could also say ‘and it will have to happen before July 1’. Just my opinion but I believe Markstrom probably said similar things to Conroy.
